Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2020 in the subject African Studies - Literature, grade: 14/20, Sultan Moulay Sliman University, language: English, abstract: This paper comes as an answer to the question of what does jazz mean in Toni Morrison's novel 'Jazz'. It is an attempt to dismantle those literary techniques used by Morrison, which derives from the music of jazz. It also tries to trace some postmodern literary elements such as metafiction, the unreliability of the narrator, intertexuality, and the rewriting of history. Jazz and postmodernism are interrelated terms since many postmodern writers especially those of the Beat Generation for instance rely on the rhizomatic improvisation of jazz during the process of writing. The moment someone glances at the title of Jazz on Morrison novel, he/she wonders what is jazzy about it. After Jazz came into being in 1992, one year later, Morrison was the first African American laureate of Nobel Prize for literature. The novel of Jazz is probably the reason why critics and readers as well lingered at works such as Beloved, Song of Solomon, Sula and The Bluest Eye and thus reconsidered the literary heritage of Toni Morrison. 'Jazz' is the second novel in the trilogy of Morrison, which includes Beloved and Paradise. Morrison did not consider them as a trilogy. Yet, the fact that they bring some historical moments such slavery, Reconstruction and Civil Wars from the past into the African American memory makes critics perceive them as the same.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject African Studies - African diaspora, grade: 14/20, Sultan Moulay Sliman University, language: English, abstract: This research paper tends to cover several issues that concern the black race in the light of The Bluest Eye. It consists of two parts. Each part includes two chapters. The first chapter of the first part is about the racialization of beauty. In other words, it shows how the notion of beauty is culturally constructed. The white dominant culture creates standards of beauty, which do not allow African Americans to consider themselves as beautiful because of their dark of skin.The second chapter further explains how some of the characters in The Bluest Eye long for whiteness because it stands for beauty, purity as well as cleanliness. It also tries to uncover the veil on the issue of whiteness in various fields including the cinema, the American literary canon as well as the Christian creed.The first chapter of the second part explores the abusive interactions between black and white characters and shows how a small variation in the color of skin can strike some people of their human nature. It also examines the role of capitalism in giving rise to racism and classism. The second and the last chapter examines the issue of internalized racism. That is to say, to what extent all the issues that were mentioned in the previous chapters can affect the psyche of the main characters throughout the novel.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2020 in the subject Film Science, grade: 14/20, Sultan Moulay Sliman University, language: English, abstract: This paper tends to shed light on one of the fundamental concepts in media studies, which is representation. While talking about minorities such as Natives Americans, representation becomes a process of stereotyping. The white American culture has always misrepresented Native Americans by associating them with derogatory descriptions. However, movies such as Dead Man came to recognize the differences among races throughout the history of America since Christophe Columbus discovered it. This paper also highlights other significant terms in postmodern and postcolonial thought such as rewriting history and intertextuality. As it provides a semiotic reading of Dead Man using the theories of Roland Barthes and other significant figures in this field.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Master's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 16, Sultan Moulay Sliman University, language: English, abstract: The aim of the following dissertation is to prove the postmodernity of Morrison's work. It is an attempt to underline the postmodern implications of Morrison's trilogy including 'Beloved' (1987), 'Jazz' (1992), and 'Paradise' (1998). This is why; the following research finds it useful to rely on Linda Hutcheon's seminal work of 'A Poetics of Postmodernism' (1988) as a guiding thread in the study of Morrison's trilogy. The originality of the following dissertation lies in the fact that Hutcheon's guiding theoretical work has come into being before the writing of Morrison's trilogy, precisely one year after the publication of Morrison's first novel of the trilogy that is Beloved. The present dissertation is an academic attack on the critics who exclude Morrison while discussing novels under the category of postmodern fiction. Morrison is usually approached from different theoretical frameworks, mainly black feminism, narratology, critical race theory, psychoanalysis and so on. However, the postmodern post-colonial Morrison has always been doomed to neglect. Hutcheon's notion of historiographic metafiction is an umbrella term that describes Morrison's postmodernity. The main aim of the dissertation is to simplify and thus breaks Hutcheon's theoretical work into three main chapters namely subjectivity, palimpsests and magic realism with their implication in Morrison's trilogy.The dissertation is supposed to be made up of four chapters. However, for some academic reasons, it was necessary to omit the first chapter, which is dedicated to Morrison's use of metafiction. Therefore, the reader will find out that the dissertation rely heavily on the historiographic dimension of Hutcheon's A Poetics of Postmodernism while neglecting its self-reflexive aspect. Nevertheless, the reader can find some implications of metafiction in the introduction. At last but not least, the last chapter of magic realism is an attempt to supply the limitations of Hutcheon's seminal work on postmodern fiction by arguing that magic realism is part and parcel of Morrison's trilogy and thus of historiographic metafiction.…
